One of my calipers seized and i was a bit disappointed by the lack of parts availability and price of my options. Then i came across 'Brakes International'. They supply brand new calipers from 'Budweg' in Denmark. Fitted a pair yesterday. So my Bay still has early brakes instead of having to...

Dammit! The camper failed the MOT today, 2 tyres that are knackered...no biggy. The problem is the exhaust... b. a silencer in such a condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a silencer...

So who went and what bargains did you get? I got a beetle tunnel basket. A couple more seat runner plastic bushes cos i broke 2 while fitting them! 9 old mags for 50p each. Plus i sold a beetle bumper. Anyone on here have a red and black devon crossover with a brighton breeze plaque on the...

I have to admit as much as i love EarlyBay i still go onto VZi now and again. Seeing posts about Ritalin and ADHD i couldn't help but read and get involved as my little Bro is on the Autism Spectrum which is all related. It truly is a touchy subject and is one of those threads that reminds you...

Anyone planning on going? http://www.ultravw.com/mepasite/303/Bug_Boogie.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Bizarrely we went to the 2nd(?) show when it was held near Brighton but haven't been now it is 12 miles up the road! I think for us it will depend on the weather plus we...

Well not quite yet, got one more day at work :( But as soon as i finish tomorrow we will be packing up and heading down. So if anyone is in the South Devon area in the next 2 weeks and sees a Chianti red and white Danbury pop top it will probably be us 8) Bodyboarding at bantham, Salcombe...

Em wants to learn to drive this year and has wanted a beetle since she was a little girl, so... Went to view this and then had to win it on ebay. Needs a couple of bits welding and the engine tuning but otherwise perfect for a first cheap beetle. The wheels are almost worth half of what we...

I noticed at volksworld my oil leak has got pretty bad. I reckon it is the flywheel oil seal as it is where the engine and gearbox join. When we got home i looked underneath and it was dripping every few seconds while the oil was hot and thin. I'd rather get on it soon so as not to wait until...

Went to take the bus out at the weekend, she started to turn over but then after 15 seconds stopped. The battery was showing about 11 volts on the gauge so i thought it might just be too low but was confused as normally a low battery would turn over slowly. I have charged the battery but...

This thread http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=5108 has made me think about a bay (although i think it was a late bay) that has similar paint to the roadrunner bay. It is upstairs in a surf shop in the middle of Plymouth town centre! Someone must be close enough to get a pic.

9pm on Discovery real time Rather than just following one build this series will be 10 episodes and have interviews with names from the VW scene in the UK and USA.

Randomly watching ITV4 and a film called 'Death Race 2000' 1975 weird hit and run race. One of the cars had drivers in nazi uniforms driving a modified Karmann Ghia!

Some of you may have seen a pic of this in my hello thread but i thought this would be the best place to post more pics. Cooker up and L shape day settee Dinner time or a game of cards? Bedtime A rose between 2 thorns! :wink: Cooking by the sea

It appears that there is nothing on Danbury and the pic is of a Devon. I have pics and brochures and a there is also a bit of info in 'The inside story' book if you need it.

I noticed a fair few cross overs on here, haven't thought of a catchy name yet though. Can't let the deluxes have all the fun, there must be less crossovers as they were only made for about 6 months making us very elite :wink:

Hello, Saw the displays at vanfest and thought i better come and join in the fun. We have a 72 crossover Danbury I checked to make sure that it counts! It was in my local vw mechanics yard for 7 years so is pretty solid. I had some welding done behind the rear bumper and future plans include...
